Since it's a catch-all term, some of the bands lumped under the genre have nothing in common with each other, and the term could be used abusively to refer to ''all'' German rock music. Generally, the musicians themselves dislike the "Krautrock" label and prefer the term "Kosmische [Cosmic] music." There was no real Krautrock "scene" (the only thing in common between some of the bands listed here was the RecordProducer of some of their records, Conny Plank, and, on the other hand, a madcap entrepreneur called Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser - more on him and the movement as a whole in Julian Cope's wonderful book ''Krautrocksampler''). The main distinguishing features of Krautrock are its experimentalism - musically speaking the bands of the genre drew from PsychedelicRock, ProgressiveRock, avant-garde rock bands (Music/FrankZappa, the Music/VelvetUnderground, Music/PinkFloyd), {{Funk}}, {{Jazz}}, ClassicalMusic, and world music - and its focus on repetition and minimalism. Krautrock bands were among the first to seriously adopt electronics and explore world music influences, and represented a significant influence on AlternativeRock (especially PostPunk and PostRock), ElectronicMusic, {{Ambient}}, and ProgressiveRock.

* Some of Music/DavidBowie's albums are sometimes considered examples of Krautrock despite the singer himself being English, because three of them were at least partially recorded in Berlin and four of them bear a lot of influence from the genre. The four albums that are sometimes considered to fall into this genre are:
** 1976 - ''Music/StationToStation''
** 1977 - ''Music/LowDavidBowieAlbum''
** 1977 - ''"Music/{{Heroes}}"''
** 1979 - ''Music/{{Lodger}}''
